dammit - if only they were called 54:38 (or if I'd have gone 2 seconds slower) that'd match my PB for a 25 mile time trial back in my 1990s cycling days! anyway, once again Peter you have introduced me to someone I've not heard of, which considering their success is quite incredible/ I'm looking forward to your ranking video before seeking out some records 🙂
Well, Nick, you could have started the Dear Dear album at the start of the race and it would have finished playing two seconds after you finished the race. The album review video is up, but I've set it to premier in about 24 hours. I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with two long videos at once.
Hey Peter! I did not catch Take 1, so it's all new to me! Nicely done, always entertaining and great stories. Perfect way to spend my lunch break 😎🎶
Its amazing that i didn’t know this band. I will need to change that. Im glad you brought them out. Enjoyed the video. I stopped this video and streamed their music. I can understand why they are good. Casual viewin. Is my fav.
@@twofromthetrunk9932 Hey, thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I only started listening to 54-40 a few months ago. I can’t believe I didn’t get into them during the nineties. I’m glad you found music you like!
Killer entry! Great choices, i love that La Chinga album, i need to get a copy again, i gave mine away as a vclt a few years ago and still haven’t been able to replace it😂 good luck 👍🤘🤘
@@aaronmuthaalamare4165 Hey, that’s awesome you even had a La Chinga album. They’re not so well known but a fantastic band! Thanks so much for taking time out for my video, Aaron!
@@musicisajourney yeah i had Freewheeling on purple vinyl , it’s really good👍🤘🤘
I have a strong sense of deja vu! But, this will prompt me to do this tag 🙂 Nice to see The Grapes of Wrath.
@@EmbryonicRobot I think you watched and commented on the first attempt. My album story was about Sloan and you mentioned Sloan in your comment. Thanks for watching Take 2, Brian. You are most generous with your time!
WAF - hilarious. I know I Mother Earth! Excellent video.
@@EmbryonicRobot Thank you! It’s fun doing these shorter ones.
Funny stuff here Peter! You are the only person Ive seen actually try to pronounce Cream’s oddball title 👍
I've been trying to pronounce it for years. Not much different from hearing people pronounce NWoBHM though.
Hi Peter..I just subbed you..Look forward to checking out your content..glen
@@GlenKellawayfromthebasement Hey, thanks, Glen! I’ve been having fun watching yours. Will be checking out more later.
Entertaining video! That's amazing you sent an email to the band to play the music.
@@catherine6653 Thanks, Catherine. When I started my channel, it was to introduce artists with whom I was connected, and so it was easy to ask them or their label to feature music. Some lesser-known and indie bands can still grant me permission to use clips of their songs. When I want to play 30-40 seconds of music, I send them a message via Facebook or Bandcamp.
@@musicisajourney Thank you 😊
😂 Peter, just discovered your channel through the very popular Contest of Acronyms… Really enjoyed the listen, great choices. I personally managed a group that we signed in EMI in the 90’s which was the IME era amongst others like Tea Party, Moist etc…. You got yourself a new Canadian friend, yes from Montreal, home of Voivod 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@TheVinylLoungeMtl Well, how awesome to meet you! Thanks for telling me about your background. That’s very cool! I’m swinging over to sun your channel now and I’ll cue up a couple of videos for my commute home later.
Great tag! Looking forward to those upcoming 54-40 videos. The Monkey’s box set could have doubled for the “surprised in my collection” question. Always lots of new music for me to discover while watching your videos. All the best eh
@@YoungLPLovers The Monkees, The Black Hole soundtrack, Kibou are all a bit different for me. This was a fun tag to do. Thanks, my Slow Coast pal!
I litterally feel like I’m trying to have another go at Summer, so this is perfect for me Peter 😉
@@MortenAastad Thank you, Morten. There’s a reason why everyone in the VC speaks so glowingly of you. You’re such a gentleman.
@@musicisajourney Thank Peter. As are you, and thank you for the mood boost (But you are in your dear Denmark, what do you need a boost for? Scratch scratch eaten by mozzies! 😱)
@@MortenAastad No mosquitoes in downtown Oslo then?
@@musicisajourney No, not really, nearest bodies of water is a fairly fast moving river and the fiord. Here I’m surrounded by trees, and flat low lying marsh like landscape not too far from my house they thrive in. All the ocean surrounding us don’t keep then away I’m afraid but I sometimes flee down there to get a break from them. Also I am alergic to their bites and swell up more than normal folks. I went days half blind from stings near my eyes and high fevers when I was little.
@@MortenAastad Oh my! That’s terrible! I didn’t realize Denmark had such beastly mozzies. But then again, I was there in May when I last visited. Of course I was joking about mosquitoes in downtown Oslo. I have plenty in my back garden. They keep me motivated to finish the garden work faster.
well I for one don't mind if you ramble on for a while 🙂
@@duringthemeanwhilst Well, you are just too kind. Honestly, I wish I had your eloquence, Nick. You are able to say everything pertinent with subtly added humour and be entertaining. Is it a Welsh thing?
@@musicisajourney trust me Peter - it all takes a number of takes!!
@@duringthemeanwhilst Perfection takes a bit of effort even for a Welshman.
Did I already comment on Take 1? I've watched so many of these Summer Tags I'm now confused. I'm sure I did & I'm sure I said epic!!!
@@benrankins4446 Take 1 was intended to be epic, but I felt it was just long winded and a chore to watch. I hope this one serves better.
Acronym's remind me too much of work speak 🙄Good luck in the comp
@@benrankins4446 Thanks. It was just fun to participate.
Great choices great video
@@manofmiracles Thanks! Acronyms and initialisms. I hope the latter count.
This video was crazy as duck (cad)! But highly entertaining! Good luck, Peter!
@@MarkMorris-1962 Thanks, Mark! I needed to add a quack to this video.
…quietly leaves the room, avoiding eye contact 😬 🫣😆
@@MortenAastad The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I am. A few years back, I printed out a list of -nym words: acronym, pseudonym, eponym, anonymous, and lots more. I tried to remember them all but, alas, I only remember the ones I knew before I printed the list. Still, I knew darn well what an acronym was. Just, seeing those periods got me thinking about any kind of first-letter collect that represented a meaning. I feel particularly foolish as I said, “You know what he’s talking about, and I know what he’s talking about,” and obviously I did not know what I was talking about. I almost want to withdraw, but I stayed up until 3 a.m. to get my video posted a.s.a.p.
@@musicisajourney Nooo! Don’t do that. Now I feel like a heel! Its a great post Peter!
@@MortenAastad No, you enlightened me, Morten. I thank you!
@@musicisajourney no, thank you! 😊
“In fact he showed this album” 😂 I had no idea on that Sloan trivia. That Cream is MAF as you said. 😅 WAF! 😂 The sound clips only added to this masterpiece video Peter! Great stuff. ✌️
@@MGKBOSTON Thank you, Machine Gun Kelly. I had to go all the way for Steve.
@@musicisajourney Thanks Peter! Steve is messing with my initials acronym. I can assure you that Megan Fox is not living with me. 🤠
@@MGKBOSTON Could be you’re just MaGiK over there in Boston.
Hey Peter! I love that Sloan album! Thanks and good luck!
@@alltheworldsastage899 I remember you saying you had it. Fun contest, Steve!
Fun entry Peter 😊 I’m not clever enough for acronyms and so on. But I enjoy watching nice folks who are 🙂
@@MortenAastad Oh, you could do this. Just pick acronyms from other people.
@@musicisajourney Yes but everyone else seem to be doing initialisms and I’m supposed to be that Norwegian who impresses everyone by having a better grasp of English than several former presidents and prime ministers 🥹
@@MortenAastad That’s not so difficult a feat for a Norwegian. Scandinavians in general are far enough removed from the kerfuffle of mid-latitude politics to be able to educate yourselves properly. But now you have me thinking: initialisms versus acronyms. Based on the abbreviated coded rendering of name yielding meaning definition, words like scuba and laser are more appropriate than WTF and IMHO. Your Norwegian intellect has won again?
@@musicisajourney 😄
@@MortenAastad Ah, yes! You have caught a lot of us, including me. I got so excited about this contest I went on the initialism route. It’s like the old irony versus coincidence confusion. Well, now I am embarrassed, but I have you to thank for clearing that up. It’s what I always say, we are all students and teachers.
NOP.. sorry… nice one Peter 🙂 I posted my entry earlier!
@@duringthemeanwhilst I’ve got a few videos to watch then. Yours will be next!
I used SWLABR! Nice entry!
@@TheAuditoryVinyl Oh, you are quick! I wanted to get my video up a.s.a.p. in case someone else picked SWLABR. I should have gone with Shonen Knife’s P.Y.O. then. But Cream was irresistible for that track!
Eric told me years ago that he took Japanese lessons to make the public service announcement. That may be why Japanese-speaking folks cannot understand all the words. 😂. Gotta give him an A for effort, however! BTW, I first saw Eric sing in a hotel basement in Aurora, NY with his group “Lost and Found” in 1972. At the time, I was with Soft White Underbelly singer Les Braunstein. Go figure!
Boy, am I screwed up! I first saw Eric in 1969!
Great work on this and the three-part retrospective. I'm getting into the band for the first time thanks to hearing "Kluskap O'Kom" again after ten years.
That's such a great song! Good you are getting into the band. I hope you'll find something you love on every album. Thanks for watching and commenting. I also hope the videos were helpful!
That was very informative. I don't think I've heard any of the records (CDs) you showed. Good luck with the heat and in the contest!
Thank you, Randal. I have to be careful that "informative" doesn't become "longwinded". The heat will continue. I soaked another T-shirt in the video I'm posting shortly.
Quintin Tarantino bought the rights to rerelease it. Thats the dvd copy I own.
@@joshfrench5858 Really?! Wow! You know Canada does well when people of esteem in other countries want to promote a little Made in Canada.
@@musicisajourney right on the cover says “Quintin Tarantino presents”
@@joshfrench5858 On the DVD?
@@musicisajourney cover of the case yup
@@joshfrench5858 I see! Well, that is cool!
One of the best Canadian movies. Loved it as a teen and still love it now and is almost 20 years later. Thank you show case
@@joshfrench5858 I can’t believe I only just found out about this! It’s a masterpiece!
That's a pretty good film and this tribute album looks really solid. The Dream Warriors strike again! I'll have to listen to that track.
@@EmbryonicRobot I actually liked the Kinnie Starr song a lot which is a bit hip hop and also not.
I own Hard Core Logo on DVD. One of my fav music movies. It's so good!
@@benrankins4446 Oh, cool! Yeah, I really liked it! I’m going to watch it again soon. This tribute album has some great tracks!
I have both CDs (tribute and soundtrack) and both are worthwhile. Where else do you get the cream of the Canadian indie scene matched with Chris Spedding, Fishbone, The Ramones and Teenage Head. Bonus is Art Bergman's "Hawaii". The movie is either hilarious or heartbreaking, depending on my mood. Collect 'em all.
@@DeanJonasson Awesome! Actually, I think I’ll look for it. Yeah, the movie has its weird humour but it’s actually about four guys struggling with their problems, Pipefitter being the least aware of his, and Joe being possibly the saddest case of them all. Great movie!
Spinal Tap for punks!! I'll have to look that one up 🙂 Here in UK we had a movie called Breaking Glass which came out in the early 80s and featured some incredible songs by Hazel O"Connor that are well worth seeking out. It also starred Phil Daniels following his roll in Quadrophenia It was quite entertaining playing in bands around that time and then watching the film!
@@duringthemeanwhilst Then I’ll have a look for that one! I’ve got so many videos cued up to watch today because I do an hour extra of train riding. Maybe I can get a movie cued up for later if I can find it on YT.
Did you know that pop punkers Chixdiggit took their name from a line of dialogue from HCL? The influence of this movie cannot be understated! I highly suggest that you look for the Fubar (2002) movie "soundtrack/tribute" album, it holds a very similar cult status, and remains another superb time capsule of a bygone era.
@@PeterByker Actually, I caught the line about “Chicks dig it,” and I thought it was an Easter Egg for Canadian music nuts. You know, like, a plug for Chixdiggit. I didn’t know it was in reverse! Also, the line mentioning, “Saskadelphia” refers to a Tragically Hip album with that title that was denied by the band’s American label because they didn’t understand the humour. I think Saskadelphia came before the movie though. I know of FUBAR because a German friend of mine was watching it on his phone during a break several years ago and I recognized the Canadian accents and wondered what he was watching. I haven’t seen the whole movie though, so I’ll look for it. Thanks!
@@musicisajourney No, Thank YOU! You are a rare breed on KZread, amazingly accessible, and so generous with your knowledge. The legend of FUBAR gets an update at theatres this coming September 6, 2024, with "Deaner '89", a prequel of sorts for the hard partier performed by Paul Spence, and a host of Canadian comedy legends! I'm beyond stoked for it, cheers!
@@PeterByker Hey, thank you so much for the kind words. I like this side of the Internet where strangers are kind to one another and share ideas, music, and movies. I’m going to see if FUBAR is here now and get it cued up!
I’m checking out National Velvet. I actually have 54-40 on my discogs want list. Great entry Peter! Good luck on the drawing.
@@vinylshawn4757 I think I remember you saying that about 54-40. Maybe a bit similar to R.E.M. in some ways. Yeah, I accidentally heard a bit of a song from National Velvet’s debut and now I want the album. But even used it’s twice the price of a regular CD.
Hey Peter! Glad you gave Nick a shout out. 54-40? 15 albums? Never heard of them until now. Cheers!
@@alltheworldsastage899 Thanks, Steve! I just watched your video for Morten’s contest. I liked but I drew a blank on a comment. I’m out of power after a four-hour class with kindergarteners and only 4 hours of interrupted sleep.
Hi Peter - I am heading back to Toronto tomorrow, and then leaving again soon after. But, I will get to Doug's contest this week. I am familiar with National Velvet, but, I have never talked about them. Good choice with 54-40! Excellent entry 🙂
@@EmbryonicRobot Thanks, Brian! You got any National Velvet albums? I might have to pay over $50 for a used CD. But I kind of want it… I hope I catch your entry. I’ll keep an active eye out for it.
@musicisajourney I see National Velvet records from time to time, but I don't have any. I'll have to fix that!
@@EmbryonicRobot Why not, eh?
Excellent entry!
@@EightVinylLow Thank you so much!
